You may receive a build error when compiling some packages in Fink of the form:

Can't resolve dependency "system-java-dev (>= 1.5-1)" for package...

This is due to the recent Apple Java update [crarko adds: discussed in this previous hint] and how the developer interfaces for Java are now distributed.

From the Fink homepage: 'Users will also need to download an appropriate version of the Java Developer Package from The Apple Developer Connection site for all of the the system-java-dev packages to show up on 10.5 and 10.6.'

[crarko adds: The link to ADC above does require a free membership in the Apple Developer Program to access the Java developer packages.]

Another warning: make sure you download the appropriate one for 10.5 or 10.6. The one at the top of the list is for 10.5, and I just wasted the last 10 minutes downloading it after which the installer told me that it was for Leopard only.

I am having the same problem trying to install kdevelop using fink. I did get the latest Java Developer (39529_javadeveloper_for_mac_os_x_10.6_update_9__10m3720.dmg) from Apple, installed it, restarted my computer, and still am experiencing the same issue. Can someone please help? Thank you.
